SALOME – Terminal

What is easily one of the most punishing time-stretching doom metal albums of the year, “Terminal” is an album which treads the fine line of doom metal minimalism and expansiveness simultaneously. Where an introverted claustrophobic and very stripped-down plodding assault on the senses is complimented with a vast and open sound picture, “Terminal” is an album that provides that glimpse into an apocalyptic cleansing, where downfall, destruction, rebirth, and resurrection all become imminent. Such a scenario was captured by the amplifier abuse of guitarist Rob Moore, the thunderous ritualistic doom-hammers of Aaron Deal, and the intense guttural flesh tearing vocals of Kat. A scenario that separates SALOME as one of the most distinct and intense extreme doom metal acts today.
